    As far as pre-fight beers go where would you be having them? It would seem to me that most of the people on here have at least some kind of connection for getting the auld freebies. Is upstairs in the O2 bar at the Point where people usually meet?

    I agree, I would have liked to see one of the above as a main support act to Dunne.

    Read on the Irish Times site that the Dunne fight isn't going to sell out. Only 5500 tickets out of 9000 have been sold. Hope more get sold before Saturday, really hope theres a good atmosphere.

    Heard Andy Murray has got injured as well, didn't know that.

    **** i heard it wasn't selling but didn't know it was that bad.
    They definately could of done with some more high profile bouts on the undercard like a duddy or lee.
    i thought the advertising of it was fairly poor aswell to be honest like peters thought it was nearly a dead cert the place would be full without him having to put in too much money.:think:think:think

    Ya the advertising has been pretty poor, only in the last week have i been seeing adverts for it. It needed a good bit as casual fans wouldnt know how good the Thai guy is.

    JCC jr is on the card aswell, Bob Arum is trying to put together a fight between the two early next yeas at MSG.
    I think Duddy of old would win easily but with his new style who knows.
    JCC jr is no world beater but he's still better than the guys Duddy's been in with lately.
